Andoni Iraola will be looking for an improved performance from his team after they were poor against Brentford on Saturday to fall to defeat, meaning their run without a win extended to nine games.
The Daily Echo predicts how the Cherries will line up at Stamford Bridge.
**Goalkeeper**
**Djordje Petrovic** looks to have lost some confidence in recent weeks, but, with only two keepers in the first team squad, he will likely start once again at his former club.
**Defenders**
It was a poor defensive display on Saturday, and the Cherries will need to improve significantly if they are to get anything at Stamford Bridge.
**Adrien Truffert** will start at left back, while **Alex Jimenez**, who started on the wing on Saturday, could drop back to right back, where he played in the second half at Brentford.

**Marcos Senesi** will continue at centre back, and while **Bafode Diakite** was poor before he was replaced at halftime against the Bees, Iraola does not have many options so he will likely start again.
**Midfielders**
**Alex Scott** was replaced in some discomfort after a knock on the jaw on Saturday, but, if he is fit to play, I expect he will start again.

Alongside him will likely be **Lewis Cook** – while it would be good to see Ryan Christie feature, it may still be too early for him to start after his return from injury.
**Forwards**
The Cherries lacked bite going forward on Saturday in the first half, as they were on the back foot for much of it.
**Antoine Semenyo** looked most likely to make the difference for the Cherries, and he’ll start again despite continued speculation around his future.
**Evanilson** dropped to the bench at the weekend, but I expect he’ll come back in to start, while I think **Justin Kluivert** will also return.

**Marcus Tavernier** will continue, too, although it would be good to see Evanilson and Junior Kroupi deployed together.
